The brass tiles offer a warmer vibe and come in: orange, sandbrushed, brown-green and green patina finishes. If you can’t decide on one solid look, you can combine several of your favorite picks to create a more colorful, mosaic affect. The tiles come in both square and rectangular cuts, although a larger stock of the square is maintained. Aluminum squares run from about $35/sf, and brass $70/sf. Whether your tastes are more classic or veer nearer to the edgy- these tiles can give you the look you want. And recycling, by design, is a savvy way to be eco-friendly.

The cover is knitted on a “knit and wear” machine that is adapted for clothing garments but this is where the fashion and design production processes divide.
